Hat and sun tan lotion
It doesn’t matter from which country you are coming from. The one thing that you need to know is that the sun is hot and can become really dangerous if your body isn’t used to the heat. This is why you should make sure that you have a sunhat that you can wear when you are outdoors.
If you don’t have a sunhat, then you don’t need to worry, you will find one in Gambia. Something that you should bring with you is a high-quality sun tan lotion that your skin is used to. You don’t want to enter Gambia without skin protection.
